Might Not Be Impossible

Getting a F-14 might not be all that impossible. I believe the CAF has one stuffed at Midland. I was surprised to see one in a small museum in Tulsa …. probably obtained with congressional help. I’d have to check to be sure, but I think some of the private aircraft carrier museum’s have them. So it could well be possible if an acceptable museum put in a request.

It wouldn’t hurt to have one of your established museums ask. After all, George does owe Tony a favor or two. And according to a couple of other threads I’ve been reading, we Colonials owe a fair amount of penance for some of Hollywood’s excesses (sorry Chaps)!

Good luck. I hope you get one or more. A better fate than the scrapper. If you ever read the WIX board, you may find the NHC is the biggest obstacle.

This year, I stopped at the USAF Museum while driving through Dayton from Southeastern Pennsylvania several times. A few weeks ago, I was fortunate to get to Hendon for a couple of hours while on a business journey to Luxembourg. I believe the elapsed time for the air/tube travel to Hendon was less by an hour or so! Both trips were well worth the visit.
